payable on January 15, 2013 shall be carried out by way of a new
Valener common share issuance at a discount of 5% of the weighted
average price during the five trading days immediately preceding the

physical share certificate that represents their shares. To enrol in
the Plan, eligible registered shareholders may contact Canadian Stock
